In case you were so busy bedazzling and sluttying up your Halloween costume on Friday that you missed seeing Wanda Sykes on Ellen…
I wonder what ever happened to that Ellen gal? I hope they let her come out! Those evil Nazi Disney bastards!
This 1996 version of GLAAD‘s homepage was found using the Wayback Machine and also featured a ‘Call To Action’ against an offensive T.J. Maxx commercial:
T.J. Maxx Is Offensive to the Max
In a commercial for T.J. Maxx that ran nationally this week, an effeminate fashion designer in a caftan was hysterically enflamed over the company’s low prices, perpetuating a worn-out and denigrating stereotype about gay men. Whining that “this T.J. Maxx thing” is ruining business for his “gorgeous creations,” the designer throws a fit while his less effeminate assistant tries to calm him. The assistant condescends to him in a weary voice because, like a pouting child, the designer is incapable of caring for himself. After the assistant tries to reassure him that he’s “still the golden boy,” the designer throws a hand to his head, pronouncing, “It’s official-I have a migraine.”
I REALLY want to see this commercial! Anybody that finds it online wins a BIG GAY PRIZE!! UPDATE: I FOUND IT. NO PRIZE FOR YOU. I guess it’s all coming around though as it looks like T.J. Maxx is now courting the gay dollar.
